Executive Summary

The Child Pages Card WordPress plugin before version 1.09 has a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. It fails to properly sanitize and escape certain shortcode attributes, allowing users with the contributor role or higher to inject malicious scripts into web pages.

Detection Guidance

Check if the Child Pages Card WordPress plugin version is below 1.09. Use WordPress admin dashboard or run: wp plugin list | grep child_pages_card. Inspect pages for unexpected scripts in shortcode attributes.

This vulnerability could lead to data breaches, which may violate GDPR and HIPAA requirements for protecting user data. Non-compliance could result in fines or legal penalties depending on the jurisdiction and affected data.
